I – for Israel

One more dream place to visit in
my life. As a child I was always fascinated by the Old Testament stories in the
Bible.

I used to listen with great
interest these stories in the catechism classes. I loved reading them whenever
I was free and would be amazed filled with awe and admiration to know how God
has been great source of inspiration.

Israel has been referred to Jacob
in the bible; this name was given to him after he successfully wrestled with
the angel of the Lord.

Jacobs’s twelve sons became
ancestors, known as the twelve tribes of Israel. Later on Moses led the
Israelites out of Egypt
from slavery to land flowing with milk and honey. Israel is also supposed to be the
birth place of the Hebrew language and today it’s a sacred place for major
religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Today Israel is disturbed place, wherein
religion has become cause for social unrest, tension and all forms of violence prevailing
in this place. I pray for peace in this
land; and hope for a change, wherein
human lives become more important than religion.

True Prasanna, it is really sad that there is so much of chaos in these places and its an unpredictable situation, anything can happen... despite all this people still visit this place.. thanks for stopping by, appreciate you...
